Overview
- Charleston County Aviation Authority police records say Mace repeatedly cursed at officers and TSA personnel, calling them “f—ing incompetent” and asserting she was not being treated like a U.S. representative.
- Officers were assigned to meet her at 6:30 a.m. based on guidance she would arrive in a white BMW, but they later found her at the Known Crewmember checkpoint and video showed a gray or silver BMW arriving around 6:51 a.m.
- A TSA supervisor told officers he was very upset and that reports on her “unacceptable behavior” would be submitted to superiors, and an American Airlines gate agent said he was in disbelief at her conduct.
- The police report notes that if a typical traveler acted the same way, officers would have been dispatched to address the behavior, and no criminal charges or disciplinary actions have been reported so far.
- Mace disputed aspects of the coverage on X, claimed the crew-access point is used by all federal lawmakers, accused rival Alan Wilson of “spying,” and her campaign framed her actions as rooted in security concerns.
